      The most annoying thing about Jellyfin is that there’s no way to consolidate all of your servers under a single interface.

      With Plex, I have a huge library made up of all my friends’ libraries.

      Jellyfin’s local download function suuuuuucks by comparison. Lifetime Plex pass has been worth it.

        Not gonna argue that Jellyfin is technically superior, but I switched to Plex to stop others from giving/selling my viewing habits. Stopped using Plex when it leaked they were doing the same.

      Because OP doesn’t know what he’s doing? Or because you like opening your server to the internet without any authentication?

        How about… Neither.

        I don’t think OP doesn’t know, but I feel like its been said multiple times here, so maybe op either missed it or has a use case where he still wants to use Plex.

        I have a Jellyfin server and I don’t need to expose it to the internet. Look at all the posts and comments here about setting up a reverse proxy and to securely expose your server to the internet. But you can also just keep your server locked behind your firewall and only access your network using a self hosted VPN.

          Op doesn’t know what he’s doing, otherwise we wouldn’t have this thread.

          JellyFin can’t be securely exposed to the internet.
